New York Adventure – Day 5

Day 5 has now been uploaded onto my exclusively NY blog, D&Ks NY Experience. For the full blog and all the photos please click: http://dknyexperience.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/new-york-adventure-day-5-conquering-fear.html

Day 5 was a big day for D and I, in more ways than one. We literally had to conquer our fear of heights and D's vertigo in one day! Below are some photos from Day 5 that you won't find in the D&Ks NY Experience blog along with some more movie related locations...

Starting with the Top Of The Rock

And as it looked in The Adjustment Bureau:

Next we saw the Flatiron Building

And here's how it looked in Spider-Man:

The movie locations continued as we visited 8 Hook and Ladder

Otherwise known as the Ghostbusters fire house

Our next stop was at Ground Zero where we saw the building of Freedom Tower

D tells me she did see a shot of this in The Amazing Spider-Man but there are yet to be any screencaps of this as the movie has only been released in cinemas. In the mean time lets look at the very pretty Andrew Garfield looking down on New York City.

Whilst at Ground Zero we visited St Paul's Chapel, if you don't know anything about St Paul's you can find out more here. It's not been in any movies but it was a very special place that D and I felt privileged  to be able to visit.

Next up we headed on over to Brooklyn to grab an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory which sits under the Brooklyn Bridge.

After our indulgence we decided it would be a good idea to walk back to Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge to burn off those calories. Here's a nice photo of the Brooklyn Bridge from on the bridge

And here is virtually the same shot in the Sex And The City Movie

Our final stop of the day was to visit The Empire State Building. The lift ride took it out of poor D and she barely got to see the Observation Deck but here's some of the photos I took

And here's how it looks in Sleepless In Seatle

New York Adventure – Day 3

Day 3 has now been uploaded onto my exclusively NY blog, D&Ks NY Experience. For the full blog and all the photos please click

In the mean time here are some more movie related photos from Day 3 that you won't find in that blog...

Ok so not technically movie related but they did make a Sex and the City movie so it's kinda related! Here's D posing as Carrie in front of the apartment which is opposite the Presbyterian Church that Mr Big visits with his mother in the show*

And here is the church

We also visited Central Park that day which is the site of many a movie...

That's me in front of the Bethesda Fountain which was used as the backdrop of Disney's Enchanted during the "That's How You Know" song

Me in 'The Mall' in Central Park, where the above scene in When Harry Met Sally took place

Kerbs Boathouse can be seen behind me in the top photo, this beautiful Central Park location was used in Sex and the City as well as When Harry Met Sally and 27 Dresses** 

Belvedere Castle and Conservatory Water in Central Park were both used as locations for the Julia Roberts movie Stepmom***

And while it might not technically be in the film, the delacorte clock which is part of the Central Park Zoo features in the animated film Madagascar

And finally we go back to SATC for The Pulitzer Fountain outside Grand Army Plaza. The Fountain features in a scene where Carrie sees Big and his new Bride Natasha in front of The Plaza Hotel

As I said above, these are just a few of the places we visited on Day 3 so be sure to check out my NY Blog for more http://dknyexperience.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/new-york-adventure-day-3.html

New York Adventure - Day 2

As promised, no personal blogging here but a link to Day 2 of my New York Adventure, should your lazy Sunday require some light reading and looking at holiday snaps.


Here's a couple of movie related photos to whet your appetite. 

The Oscorp Building from Spiderman

Staircase inside the New York Public Library used in the first Sex And The City movie for Carrie and Big's (non) wedding

View of the street opposite the New York Public Library, where the wall of water came down in The Day After Tomorrow

Recent film fans will recognise this bridge from Marvel's Avengers 

(or Avengers Assemble in the UK). It's where the main battle takes place with the Chitauri at the end

 This building was used as the facade of the fictional "Pemrose building" in The Secret of My Success, as well as the fictional "Clamp Tower" in Gremlins 2

The Metlife Building was famously used as The Daily Planet building in the Superman movies. The flat roof is where Lois Lane's near fatal helicopter ride started
